Hello! First of all I want to thank you all for helping me ahead of time. Okay, now my question. I have an Alienware Aurora R3 ,I7 2600k, 950watt psu, MSI GTX 660, 16 gig ram. I had it since 2011 and its been running great, especially since recent graphics upgrade. I am however concerned about liquid cooling on this machine. How long does it usually last? Are 60c at full load acceptable? I do understand that these coolers aren't the best but shouldn't it be lower at load? Closer to 50c maybe. I know the tj case max is 72.6 but id like it to be as low as possible. I wonder if I can replace the cooling with corsair h80i and how difficult will it be on the R3? Or should I just leave it as it is and maybe replace the radiator fan for a cougar one? Also what is the radiator fan size for this unit? Sorry for all the questions, I'm kinda noobish at this stuff, still trying to learn. Thank you guys so so much once again!
